Hardware Problem

Removing the touch screen does improve contrast, but then you'd have no way to navigate the interface (buttons are not enough).
Also, I'd recommend doing it only if the dusting is really bad, since in my case I got more dust afterwards. Granted, I did more than just flipping the screen up and back but still...

Andybaby,

My plastic external power switch didn't fix the internal one any more.

It was caused because the plastic frame stood apart from the metal case and I removed the screws to put it back in place, then the power switch fell off and I can't put it in place any more.

Do you believe it is an easy fix if I follow the steps you show in this thread? I tried to force it to the left side (to attach the internal switch) but it didn't fix well and "disconnect" from the internal switch.

Any suggestion?

Thanks a lot.

Max

1. Remove the stylus.
2. Turn the Reader over and remove the top left screw from the back (the one that's holding the popped out side plate)
3. Slightly shift the side plate up until its drops into place. Then shift it down until it's firmly fixed.
4. Put the screw back.

You're a lifesaver! Thanks very much. Works perfectly.
